Mediocre copy with good interior. ~ FIRST EDITION. Charles Périn (1815-1905) was a professor of public law and political economy at the Catholic University of Louvain. A "utopian socialist", he belonged to the "French Liberal School", the 19th Century French economists which followed the tradition, both in politics and economics, set by the theorist Jean-Baptiste Say. In his "Les doctrines" Périn criticizes Bastiat's ideas. Unlike Bastiat, Périn adopted the labour theory of value. Since the return to land was not a return to labour, he maintained that rents sanction an injustice. Périn's criticisms of Bastiat brought to light the logical link between the labour theory of value and the demands of social justice. Following Périn's "Les économistes, les socialistes et le christianisme" (1849) (also offered by Librarium), many social Catholics raised the issue of social justice.
